Content Engines

Web Server content engines are designed for manipulating customer
data. The following three content engines make up the Web Publishing layer of the Sun Java System
Web Server architecture:

HTTP (Web Server)

Content Handling

Search

The HTTP engine represents the core of Sun Java System Web Server.
The Web Server architecture resides on top of this engine for performance
and integration functionality.

The
Content Handling engine enables you to manage your server’s content.
You can create and store HTML pages, JavaServer Pages files JSP™, and
other files such as graphics, text, sound, or video on your server. When clients
connect to your server they can view your files provided they have access.

The Search engine enables Web Server users to search the contents
and attributes of documents on the server. As a server administrator, you
can create a customized text search interface that works with various types
of document formats. Web Server converts many types of non-HTML documents
into HTML as it indexes them, so users can use a web browser to view the documents
that are found for their search.
